The McChronicles was fortunate to stumble upon a real STAR recently. We briefly enjoyed the company of Yanna Deng, McDonald's Changan Branch STAR.We don't know what "STAR" actually stands for, but it HAS to be good. Why? Because Yanna is. The Changan McDonald's (in Shenzhen, China's Futian district) is a true "neighborhood" restaurant. Nestled amongst small shops, and at the foot of housing blocks, the store serves students, families, and the neighborhood...
The McChronicles has experienced this before. Still, we marvel at it, and want to report on it again.What is it? It is a temporary, pop-up McDonald's. A small McDonald's is set up in a special tent, wherever needed.In this case, the restaurant served thousands of conventioners in Shenzhen, China. When bringing people together from all parts of the world, it is important to satisfy everyone's basic human needs (enjoying a satisfying meal is one of...
A cautious McChronicles tentatively bit into the piping hot dessert for a first taste of McDonald's Pineapple Pie.The verdict? Awesome! Very sweet and flavorful. An excellent comfort food.This great treat was found in Shenzhen, China.The McChronicles: a blog about, not affiliated with, McDonald's.Image: The McChronicles (pie is missing - we gobbled it up too soo...
The McChronicles enjoyed the (much) larger than life glowing sidewalk billboard depicting the awesomeness of the McDonald's Big Mac while walking along a Shanghai street last week.After being duly influenced by the huge advertisement we decided to drop into the closest McDonald's to see if the sandwich could live up to the hype. Depicted here is what we saw, and what we were served.The sandwich was served up in sloppy fashion, with ingredients hanging...
The McChronicles snapped this image a couple of days ago. It depicts a countdown (days to go) to the Summer Olympics in China.The sign sits right at the entrance to a Shanghai McDonald's.There is so much fervor building up in China for these games. The McChronicles wonders if the country will sustain the energy or if they will have an emotional melt down. We'll soon see.The McChronicles: a blog about, not affiliated with, McDonald's.Image: The ...
Olympics Fever is really heating up in China. The McChronicles wonders how the country will manage to keep a lid on the excitement for another year.Coca-Cola is staging a very special event for the upcoming summer games. They are asking customers to vote for one of three favorite Chinese sports stars. The winner will carry the Olympic torch into the stadium and light the main torch.The choices are:Yao Ming (basketball) NBA fameLiu Xiang (hurdles)...
The McChronicles has noted that McDonald's workers seem to be required to wear corporate shirts and hats, along with some non-descript, non-corporate-issue pants.The McChronicles has noted (reminded on a visit last week) that Chinese McDonald's staff wear corporate McDonald's pants.The McChronicles: a blog about, not affiliated with, McDonald's.Image: The McChronicl...
The McChronicles went on a breakfast jag last week and started consuming Egg McMuffins nearly every day.The cool thing was that all the meals were consumed in China - Shanghai to be exact.Disregarding the localized wrapping, the food looked and tasted exactly like that in any other McDonald's in which we've eaten.The McChronicles: a blog about, not affiliated with, McDonald's.Image: The McChronicl...
